What I dont get about SU, PC, SJU and UMass fans is that they basically want us NOT to celebrate our success.
Pretty much. SU believes that they have been better than us over the past 20-25 years (evidently titles are over rated) and if we don't acknowledge this we are being arrogant.
St John's fans believe that they were one of the two or three most dominant programs in basketball until the late 1980's (they were usually pretty good, on occasion very good) and that we have been successful is an insult to them.
PC fans believe that they have been our equals from the start of the BE and that we need to thank them (as Gavitt started the BE) for having any success. Strangely they also feel that as they originally liked the Jim Calhoun hire, they share responsibility for his success but he defied them by surpassing what they felt was an appropriate level.
I can't speak too much for UMass beyond a) many of their fans a few decades ago believed that their having Dr J for a couple of years trumped three decades of our dominance over them prior to that and b) having Calipari spend a couple of years insulting UConn two decades ago was UConn's fault and demonstrated their superiority.
Our best position is to not care what they think. We don't need their approval.
